Local rugby club help raise £465 for The Fold

Local rugby club Old Richains joined forces with Gloucester Rugby last Saturday to help raise money for The Fold orphanage based in the Limpopo region of South Africa.

Members of the Old Richian's under 12, 13 and girls teams, came together and held a 'bag pack' at Tesco's St Oswalds in Gloucester, which proved to be a huge success raising £465 in total.

Gloucester Rugby's Helen Chu said 'It was great to see a local club join us to help raise money.' 'The kids were absolutely fantastic and put lots of effort into the cause to which we are extremely grateful.'

All of the money raised will go towards The Fold which provides a place for children who have been rescued from despairing situations. The aim of The Fold is "to create a loving and secure environment where children have hope for the future."

We would like to express our thanks to Catherine and the team at Tesco's for their continued help and support.

Premiership Rugby today announces a new partnership with Singha Beer, which confirms the premium Thai lager as the new title sponsor of the Premiership Rugby 7s Series and an official partner of Premiership Rugby.

Gloucester dominated for long periods against Wasps at the Ricoh Stadium on Sunday afternoon but were made to pay the price for defensive lapses and a number of key refereeing decisions not going their way in a 32-21 defeat.
